[Guide] PHP Setup
This document describes how to setup PHP in order to work on Dashbrd and is mainly aimed towards those who are unfamiliar and/or new to PHP development.
At time of writing PHP 8.2 is used unless stated otherwise.
Generally, these PHP extensions/modules need to be installed on your machine:
php-zip php-pdo php-pdo_pgsql php-intl php-process php-pecl-redis5 php-gd php-gmpHow you install them depends on your target machine. Below you can find instructions for different operating systems. Feel free to add/update instructions if anything should be missing.
Let's not go there. You should be able to find what you need in https://laravel.com/docs/10.x#getting-started-on-windows
Make sure to install the following:
- Composer
- Homebrew, to make your life easier
- Valet, personal preference but it works in an easy way
- Sanity check for PHP 8.2, to make sure it's set to 8.2
- Redis and XDebug (optional)
Basically if you install all of the above, you will have everything you need for a basic Laravel setup. You can run valet through valet link in the directory you want to serve (usually the root of the repository) and then navigating to <name>.test in your browser.
